Man I love stumbleupon *hint click that thumbs up if you stumble here*

Whats up my fellow philosophizers of music check THIS sh!t out. You click on a weather setting and it magically (magic is just the crap science hasn't made boring yet....word) created a playlist that'll reflect the weather condition I picked. Haha man I love stumble =D. Go nuts people, peace.

Oh and uh, P.S....

Thank you everyone from mybloglog and my 4 other followers for subscribing. Lol makes me feel like I'm not COMPLETELY wasting my life on this damn laptop. Tell your friends, Peace =]

Old overseas, but new to me

Whats good in your hood everyone? Brace yourself kids because I've got a long post today.

I'm actually excited about this "new" piece of artistry my boy put me onto. They like to be called Pete Philly and Perquisite and they hail from the UK (hence the title of this post). These guys have this cool, chill sound to all their hits. This is the kind of stuff you play in the background while you light up, you know...if you're into that sort of thing =] I'm gonna give you one track from all three of their albums: Mindstate, Remindstate (I love that name), and Mystery Repeats. If you do decide to go and get their albums (however method you choose) let me tell you right now, Remindstate is Mindstate but with every track remixed. It's sick, believe me lol.



Now for all the people that are going to tell me these two have been out forever...I know...but we dumb americans don't get the good music, for some reason were all addicted to that pop (excuse my french =] ) bullshit. We've got gems but quality like this doesn't hit us all the time. Anyways, here are your tracks. While you're listening take a look at their wiki or their site. The site has a bunch of tracks you can listen to for free from various albums so its worth a look-see.

Hope feat. Talib Kweli - Mindstate

Insomnia (Laagman Remix) - Remindstate

Third Degree - Mystery Repeats



NEXT order of business is this strange song I stumbled onto. The name of the band is Cakeflap and the song you are about to hear is off of their one track album called The Bakery is Open. Yes that's right, ONE track. I was freakin out when I read that and I just had to download it afterwards, I mean, how could you not! Turns out its a 17 (jesus christ) minute long medley of songs. I think it changes parts every minute but dont take my word for it, I was too busy enjoying it lol. Give it a listen, you'll love it =] Peace out everybody.

I AMMMM THE EGGMAN

Whats up everyone? I'm really starting to hate my 2gig ipod. I mean honestly I have to make some crazy hard decisions about whether or not I should keep a my beloved Fray songs or switchem up and put some stuff from the Beatles. Okay okay don's assassinate me guys, I know the Beatles are exponentially better but I do need variety ya know. So just a heads up, if anyone would like to donate an old ipod to the "Help Corey get some more music" center for relief then send me an email at gamesman101@aol.com or if you just wanna have a...prvate chat...hit me up.

So yeah I guess I'll address the title now. I heard the song I am the Eggman on the radio (1019 RXP == the unnofficial replacement to KRock) and I friggen loved it. I can't believe I hadn't heard this song yet. It simply rawked my socks off and then some so I'll post it up for download so you too can feel this musical bliss....whatever the hell that means. Oh yeah...apparently my music player is on the fritz and is being a real douchemaster at the moment. It refuses to play any new music I put on it so yeah I'll just have it up for download. Go nuts.

Also guys take a look at this video which I think is a little bit of musical gold. On that note, peace out everybody!

Just Checking In =]

Hey whats up everyone. I wish I could write posts a little more often but yesh you know me.....too lazy for comfort lol Not only that but I haven't been finding any good stuff (well...I guess that assumes I've been looking...). On that note, it may not be new but it sure is good.





Take a look a this track by Say Anything called Alive With The Glory of Love. I remember hearing this songs on Scrubs and damn I was hooked; I had to find it. So yeah have a listen.

Next on this list is a remix of Robin Thicke's older songs Wanna Love You Girl with Busta Rhymes and someone else that I cant remember. Is pretty awesome though so take a look. \

18 Wanna Love You Girl (Remix) [Bonu.m4a


Just like every other time, give me some music or ideas or just some feedback. Everything is appreciated. Peace out everybody =]

P.S. WHOO 2 followers and 6 from mybloglog.com FUCKIN A =D Thanks alot who bothers to read my work, its greatly appreciated.

Dance mixes....

Wow its been a whole 2 weeks since my last post. I'm a little disappointed in myself...and now I'm good :D Haha sorry about that, I've been incredibly busy in between finding myself and some free internet since mine went out. Its on again so you can take back that gasp, I'll be fine.

So yeah dance mixes...ya know I realized I hate most dance mixes. They seem to ruin the song completely for me and they aren't made to be listened to...just to dance to. Don't get me wrong, I love to dance as much as the next black guy but I actually listen to these things and my god they're horrible. There are exceptions to the rule and some are made pretty well but the vast majority are just bullshit uptempo beats put to a song in order to get it some commercial play. It sickens me...I think I died a little on the inside. Check this song out, I heard it on the radio.

Mike Snow - Animal

This is the original song and I think its pretty kool. If you go on youtube for this song you wont get this. Instead you'll find like 3 other dance mixes of it, all of which I dislike greatly. Oh well, I guess you cant stop people from ruining good songs huh.

Read more...

Finally, a real post.

Wuduup y'all =] I just want to let ya know that I am fucking ecstatic that I'm actually getting a little traffic lol I know, a small accomplishment but whatever I'm happy. Anyways I think I've got some good stuff for ya today. I've been scouring music sites for new stuff and I'm really not sure why I looked on Vh1 for music...like anything is really...groundbreaking on there. After you've tuned your ears to "good" music, the stuff at regular big name channels like MTV and Vh1 all sound the same. Who really wants to hear the umpteenth Nickelback song?

Try this on for size, Immortal Technique. Remember that time I said my friend drove me home and gave me some songs later on to check out, well this was also one of the artists. I didn't review him earlier because I hadn't taken the time out to actually listen to em'. I was playing Gorillaz songs one after another and then Technique popped up and to my surprise this dood is effing great. The guy is a lyrical mastermind. I put this one line from him up as a Facebook status "I jerk off in books and bring life to words." Ha ha come on tell me that isn't quality stuff. I'll let you guys give that song a listen. Ya know I'm a little pissed I haven't heard of him earlier, according to his wiki page the guy has been here forever.


Immortal Technique - Positive Balance


Next on the agenda is best known in the mainstream as the second half of Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse. Now this is a producer with a few big name albums under his belt. He released an album called "The Grey Album" which featured some Jay-Z raps put to some of The Beatles songs that were on their 1968 "White Album"....get it, Jay had the black album, Beatles had the white album, now its the...grey...all right I'm done.

Well this guys latest release has a story all its own. No not the album tells a story...well it probably does if you listen in between the lines but no what I'm talking about is how the album go released. Apparently our lovable hero Danger Mouse was having a little legal trouble with his label and couldn't release the album commercially. Well our clever hero came up with a solution with that problem. On June 2nd, Danger Mouse released Dark Night of the Soul as a collection of photographs taken by David Lynch coupled with a blank CD with the message "For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will." Pure genius. The entire story can be found over at the EFF.

Dark Night of the Soul is a large collaboration with artists of many different backgrounds such as Iggy Pop and Suzanne Vega to name a few. Check out this track featuring James Mercer. I friggen' love it =]


Danger Mouse feat James Mercer - Insane Lullaby


Next post I'll uhh...I don't know I'll find something. Finding good music is hard lol, especially when you've got crap like Miley Cyrus clogging up our musical arteries (ears). Remember guys, I'm always searching for good stuff so if you happen to come across some sick German techno song that puts KISS to shame lol send it here. Oh I know, another friend of mine told me to look at this acid jazz album so maybe I'll do something on the whole album. Till next time, peace out everybody.

New Layout

Whats up everybody. I want to introduce you to the brand new layout and the brand new name of the blog. It's now called "New Sound". I kept the last name as a subtitle for this so I'm pretty darn happy. I hope all of my super cool visitors check all the stuff out and if you don't want to leave a comment on one of my blog entries, just check out the chatroom on the right side and say hello. That was all one sentence, damn...

Now that the intro is done, yo MJ died. It just hit me a little while ago while I watching the funeral. Man this is depressing...what's even more depressing is that neither Billy Mays nor Farrah Faucet will have a funeral this extravagant. Eh if they did though I guess we'd be considered communists so its a trade-off I'll take.

No new music today because of all the work I've been doing to increase traffic/surf the internet/make the brand new layout look pretty. Don't fret however, I'll find something you can sink your teeth in. Till then, peace out everybody.

Check it ouuut

Hey guys what going on? Oh yeah happy barbecue and shoot fireworks day :D I've been trying to find some new stuff but nothing has been really popping up. I mean I do see some stuff on mtv hits and sucker free countdown and blah blah blah but ya know...its all crap. Except for Jay-Z's DOA that is. It has that classic sound to it.

Well.....now that I think about it...I did find something ;D I was being driven home from one of my frat bro's birthday parties and he turned on some instrumentals, some I've heard and others that were completely new to me. Man they were sick. These two are a couple that I liked.

Metal Fingers - Safed Musli

Metal Fingers - Vinca Rosea


I'm not gonna give you the entire album because well that is a little messed up for the artist when you think about it so find and buy this stuff. Or if he has them for free good for you :D

Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival

I guess I double as a reporter now cause for all 3 of my readers I bet you've NEVER heard about this thing. The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival is supposedly (well according to that white guy who was up on stage) the largest hip hop festival in NY. Word...who woulda thought. The event spans about 3 days, with the third day being pretty much the most important.

So of course being a music connoisseur I knew about this way before even they did, yeah I got Nostradamus powerz, with a z...lol I digress. My friend put me on to this rap bonanza. I was a little pissed off because the website said in big bold letters "FREE TO ENTER, but you can donate if you want." Of course that wansn't the case because I ended up paying $10 for it but godammit Corey stay on topic.

The sh!t was bananas. I mean I arrived around the beginning of it so nothing was really jumping right then. Later on however, it got freakin insane. People jumpin, yelling, screaming, dancing....beautiful. Thats the only word to describe so many black people in a confined space and not one fight broke out, probably because they were all high and drunk but hey, you don't see me complaining.

It was mostly an underground affair as the vast majority of artists I heard during the concert were unknown to most of the crowd. However, there were a few people that some may recognize. DJ Premier for one, or how about some guy named Styles P (lol the featured artist in Akon's locked up), and oh yeah Dead Prez was there too. My boy actually got an album signed (which I've yet to askem how it is...) by them. Scroll down for the pic.
Word. Pulse of the People. I actually like that name too, so yeah I def. need some feedback.

But I think out of all the performances, however horrible or great or just plain weird...I think the man who took the show was Pharoahe Monch. I've never heard of the guy but apparently he is a hip hop god in undergroundland. I know he does most of the production on his work but I don't know about all of it. He was signed to the Indie label Rawkus Records, yeah thats right, the same label that is widely blamed for the jumpmstart of the members of Black Star's career. Well yo I'm gonna hop off this guys jock and let you listen to em. I got 2 youtube sites so go nuts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DY94XFbocU

Well hey guys I'm outa heeeere. Its 6 in the morning and I need to knock out SO its been real guys. And comment, give me feedback, you know what to do. Also if you stumble please press that kool lil thumbs up guy. Would be greatly appreciatded :D

P.S. I never edit my posts so if there are like 7 typos....screw you its your fault and you are adopted.

I need to play some more Guitar Hero...

How you doing everybody? How's your summer? Mine is pretty good, boring at best but ya know I'm trying to make the best of it. I'm listening to this song by Asher Roth right now called "His Dream" and its making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside haha...an emotion not usually associated with Roth's music. But yeah that's what I'm here to talk about, along with a few other things so get some coffee, take a seat in the most comfortable chair you've got, and listen up.
Everyone has been on this semi-new song "I Love College" and it made me wonder just who is this guy? In fact I thought he was just some youtube rapper hoping to get big but of course I payed it no mind....damn was I wrong to do that. In fact, about an hour and a half ago, I got around to getting his album and man that is some good stuff. Like sitting down with ya boys and gettin ready to smoke the fattest blu...uh candy cigs you've ever seen. Everyone really oughta check this dude out, I mean I've been trying to place him, label him rather, but I just can't. He isn't Eminem or just some random wigger from the mean streets of Orange County (no offense Orange County-ers...you're just about as gangster as Miley Cyrus in Compton...) He's his own person and he has his own voice...it may be that of a college kid who just want to...well listen to "I Love College" and you'll get the picture. All in all check this dood out, he's kool with a k.

Next up on the roster is a band named Slightly Stoopid. I was playing Guitar Hero World Tour at my fraternity house and I came across this song and played it on medium (I suck at the game) and WOW oh em gee I loved this one song called "Jimi". I uhh....don't really know anything about them....at all but I do know that "Jimi" is freaking amazing. I don't know if this is true but I saw on a youtube comment that the lead singer of Slightly Stoopid said that he named the song "Jimi" because the way the guitar is played sounds somewhat like a Jimi Hendrix solo and in my opinion, yeah it does. I gota admit though...they look like douchebags in this pic...

So yeah just giving you something to youtube or whatever you do for your music. Gimme some time and I'll put you guys on to my cousic Davie. He really is an awesome rapper and I know he has a track available on itunes but till the you guys can just go hit up http://tinyurl.com/davieBaby for more info. Thanks alot guys, happy music huntin :D

So lets start this thing back up shall we...

SO now that I'm done with finals and projects and whatnot I am totally putting more work into this blog now. Word life.

Lol so anyways lets get down to business. I've def. heard a good lot of songs since my last post and maybe you've heard of them. Check it out, Jazzanova, Clara Hill, and MF Doom. Haha needless to say this might be a long post so break out the popcorn guys.

Jazzanova, my favorite in the acid jazz genre, is a German Berlin-based^[1] DJ/producer collective consisting of Alexander Barck, Claas Brieler, Jürgen von Knoblauch, Roskow Kretschmann, Stefan Leisering, and Axel Reinemer (Wiki). Honestly though I wasn't really as hard pressed to find the names of these guys as I was to find their music lol. I swear their stuff is just so damn underground I cant seem to find it anywhere...and by anywhere I mean the internet, and by internet I do NOT mean pirating websites [insert winky face.....not there....here].

I mean I could post up the link to the album I did find...eh ya know what I will...here ya go.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HQS66YS5

I just found it recently too. Ever since I found them, which was about 2-3 years ago, I had to go on youtube and listen to the same three songs I found from them...which were amazing by the way. If you simply cannot wait, I suggest youtube-ing the three songs:L.O.V.E You and I, Another New Day, and So Long feat. Nicole Kramer (amazing singer btw). Check it out.

NUMERO DOS: Clara Hill. Oh my gawd this sexy piece of woman has a crazy voice and is def. rising in my list of good artists. Her sound is more on the RnB side but eh I guess I cant say that much...so many things lately have blurred the line of what exactly is RnB.

She is pretty much on the acidic jazzy style though and she likes to collaborate with alot of NuJazz artists so its hard to place her exactly but ya know what, I'm starting to hate genres...just a nother label right?

Lol dont mind me and that label bs I'm just crazy. Anyways let me post up her album too cuz I like you guys. I just recently found out she existed too so I'm still searching for more. Go crazy...

http://rapidshare.com/files/38042365/SK012CD.rar

No singles I'd like to point out but just go on youtube. You'll find just about everything you need.


Last but not least is this guy known as SUPER VILLAIN aka MF Doom. Lyrical genius if I might add. He's a hip-hop artist that I just found out about which to me means he's brand new. His albums are formulated like this: each song in succession have this whole story that he tells and its like that for every album he does but this takes away from the power that one of his songs alone has. In other words if I listen to him, its usually gonna be the entire album. Not to say they aren't good but it's like his songs build upon one another in such a way it's like they're dependant upon one another.

Well, if you take anything from that lil critique up there, just listen to em. I'll give you his latest album but you guys have to find the others.

http://depositfiles.com/files/g9xb664ux

Hope it works for ya :D Well Yeah that was my post for today, hope you all enjoyed it almost as I enjoyed writing this. Next time I want to talk about Knaan and some other artist I'll most likely find. Oh and I think I'm gonna upload my sound project up here. I just finished it about 2 days ago and yeah.

SO I'm ouut. Peace out everybody :D Word Life [chuck deuces]

Series of mini posts...

Hey Ya'll. Whats goin on? Well since I'm going to be amazingly busy these next few days, I dont think I'm gonna be updating my blog for a little while. Well no...I'll try to do what the topic of this post is and just try to point you kool kats in the right musical direction. Hows that sound? I still love all 3 of my readers lol :D

Well on that note, myspace.com/sevenrocc is where you should be at right now. As soon as that page loads your blasted with the kool Cali style of S.E.V.E.N. Check out El Foreigner. Its really chill and they got a good flow to the beat just the way I like it; not exactly on the beat perfect, but a lil off to create that dissonance....but hey that every hiphop song isnt it? Yeahh I guess...I'm just a fan of the style.

I'm done here my ppl but please oh please do not hesitate to hit me up for whatever reason. Just to say somethin random or (what I'd like you to do) tell me about that new artist that no one knows about but you. Share it pplz....I think I should make a website based on that hmmm ideaaass lol. On that lovely note, Peace Out EveryBody [chuck deuces]

Hippity Hop

Yoooo whats up guys. All two of my readers lol. Well I got another person you guys should check out. His name is Charles Hamilton. Also you have to look at this site a friend of mine recommended to me called datpiff.com. This site is pretty awesome, it's basically a place where artists upload their mixtapes.

Now I havent heard all of Charles Hamiltons mixtapes (this guy uploads a mixtake like everyday) but this one is pretty damn good. Type in the search bar "Charles Hamilton" and look for "Well Isn't This Awkward". The picture is Super Sonic with a pink bouquet of flowers (weirdest mix I've ever seen). Ahhh just listen to it, its great.

Today was a short entry but I'm tired so i dont care lol....so uhhh peace out everybody

Doesnt it make you wanna learn guitar?

So here I am again...sitting in my room inspired to write again. Lol inspired....yeah I'm just bored right now. Well in my boredom I found these guys at candyrat.com.

I found them because my friend send me this youtube link to some bald guy playing guitar. Well apparentely this guy is pretty popular seeing as the views to this link was about 9mill. Pretty insane right? Well the bald guy goes by the name Andy McKee and he play guitar like none other. Well none that I've heard anyways. Go to the site and look for em or youtube, whatever tickles your fancy.

One more thing...I'm doing another sound studio project where I have to record myself reading a paragraph of text and then make it perfect my mixing and the like. Well because this required me to rent a mic from my school I figured I'd try killing two birds with one stone. My professor suggested that If I want to go into game design or sound design or what have you, I should start creating a library of sounds so I can have some homemade stuff at my disposal.

I don't necessarily want to become a sound designer when I grow up but...man this stuff is interesting. I thought I'd start it this weekend. So yeah just thought that I'd share that with you guys.

Rock on people Rock On.

P.s. check out this band called mew, I'll do a full piece on them but I havent actually listened to them alot. I'm going on my bro's recommendation.

Once

This is a quick little entry so yeah. I remember a movie I saw called Once about a Czech woman and a man from Ireland who's music brings each other together. It was a real chick flick but gawdammit it was beautiful. What stood out to me the most wasn't the story though, in fact it was the music. Every track riddled with nothing but raw emotion, you could feel the love, sadness, joy, frustration, your heart went out for this couple. Seriously I havent heard anything so...I havent heard anything that could evoke emotions in such a masterful way. The cool thing is that these tracks stand alone. They dont need the movie behind it to give'em meaning. Movie OST's arent known for that so I just think thats awesome.

My favorite track is called "When Your Mind's Made Up". It starts off slow...then the piano chimes in which is a nice complement to the vocals + guitar. Then begins the buildup into a powerful crescendo and it sounds like he screams in what seems like anger but, what I got from the lyrics is sheer frustration, damn its amazing. All the while this piano keeps going through all the insanity, all of the chaos....wow

I just think this kind of stuff has to be about someone...you dun write this to just make a hit.
If you like folk/good music....please watch this movie. Damn....just buy it.

One more thing guys gimme suggestions on like everything. Maybe how the blog should be, or maybe what people I should take a look at. Anything, I love feedback so comment aways guys. Peace out everybody. Word, grapedrink.

My project, Bang Camaro, and a lil Radiohead

Heeyy wusup everybudy. I havent been posting lately cuz school wants to screw me over and mess with my financial aid lol Had go in there, kick ass, and take about 3 names. Word. Lol but nah it was that and some homework I had to do. One of which I am particularly proud of. My sound studio project. It really isn't much (I had about 12 sounds to work with and 5 of them didnt work...) so dont judge me!!! I'm not going to tell you what I interpreted it as so its a little more fun for you guys. Well here it is:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=921IZQLG

On another note I read this game informer mag that I completely forgot I had subscribed to. It came with my edge card renewal for Gamestop, who knew. Well I saw this band called Bang Camaro being featured in it. They must be pretty hyped at this point; after witnessing their sales skyrocket from 2000 to 37,825 just from being featured in the game Guitar Hero 3 with their legendarily hard "Through the Fire and Flames" and now this.




Lemme give you a lil background. Bang Camaro consists of about 17 or so memebers (wow) and 13 of which are vocalists. They have a song called Pleasure Pleasure which has what they'd like to call a "man choir". Lol that is aptly named seeing as there are more than 6 guys singing the chorus. It's pretty insane.

These guys are SERIOUSLY 80s like really really 80s. So if you're into rocking out with your jocks out then buy their album and crank it up to 11. Mind you I havent bought the album but hey I find music, I dont have to support them financially, youtube ftw. Lol sorry guys.



One more small topic. Radiohead's album In//Rainbows is amazing. Even if the whole emo sounding, alternative type isn't for you....just listen to the lyrics of their songs. It tells a story from beginning to end. It really is a work of art. Now I admit I'm not the most informed Radiohead fan meaning that I do not have all of their albums but I'm working on it so don't set me on fire. I promised I'd talk about em so yeah.

Ok I'm done guys, next episode I'll be talking about....eh i duno....OH I got it. If my friend lets me I'll post some of his beats up on here, ya know just to givem a lil free advertising. I think he's decent, not the best but I really enjoy his stuff so that == you will too. Good night and luck.

Damn, sounds looks good...

So I'm walking with a friend of mine and we take a brief stint to admire some women who walk by us (they weren't that pretty and I was saying sarcastically "Oh yeahh lets holler at those chicks oh cheya lol). Well anyways my friend randomly shares with me that he enjoyed making sweet love to the album Seeing Sounds by N.E.R.D (not actually making love to the CD...get your minds in the correct gutter). *sigh* He said this the day after I got ahold of the album and told him "YOO THIS ISH IS HOT', and it kinda pisses me off because he may have ruined the entire album listening experience forever. Thank you very much sir.


Well uhh on the topic of said album, it is indeed hot. I mean I am a music fan in general but I wasn't thinking I'd be this uhhh...enthralled in its greatness. Few tracks I wanna mention, Anti Matter, Spaz, Lazer Gun, and Yeah You. These four right here make this album for me. You should give it a listen, your gunna have to rely on youtube till I can find out how to upload some samples online or sumthing. Have fun!

So okay I think I got another artiste fo ya guys. It seems myspace just seems to harbor the kick ass artists so here ya go.

Blu & Exile(not pictured here as...well...hes not the rapper so he doesn't matter). I keed I keed Exile is actually the producer while Blu raps. This duo hails from the west coast, Fresno, Cali to be exact. Their debut album, which was damn near critically acclaimed for the west coast underground community, is called Below The Heavens released online summer 07' then retail about a month later. I cant really review an album in a very eloquent manner (my idea of eloquent is "DAMMMN THIS IS HOT....BUY IT NOWWW") so I'll give you an excerpt of allhiphop.com's review:

"Throughout the album, Blu displays a magnetic power with the mic, especially in songs such as “In Remembrance”. Exile’s production sets a reflective mood, and Blu’s endearing bars have a way of making anyone reflect on their own past. “Dancing in the Rain” with its somber production meshes with Blu’s reflective lyrics and gives you a taste of what his journey was; painting a wonderful visual picture that will have you sitting next to him at the bus stop."

So uh needless to say its a really good album, its at least worth keeping your myspace on his page and when you close firefox, save the session so when you open it again there it is.

Next post I'll do something on radiohead and maybe jazzanova, or this other group called koop that I saw under related crap on youtube but whatever....depends on how I'm feelin. Peace guys. :D

The Pilot

Hey guys whats up? This is my first post to my soon to become the greatest music blog ever...booyah. Like it says in the description right below the title, this is just a project I wanted to work on for awhile and ya know, see where it goes. I mean if I'm gonna be sitting at this computer screen all the time I might as well be doing something uhh semi-productive right? ;]

Some random info for ya, my favorite band at the moment is Radiohead but my tastes extend way further than that. I love acid jazz (Jazzanova and Spearhead ftw), and just the alternative genre in general. Hip Hop too which is coming back to me after a long hiatus due single-handedly to Soulja Boy, whom I consider the worst uhh "artist" (for lack of a better word) to be introduced to this world.

*sigh* I hate the guy but you have to give him credit where its due. If his music can get awkward teenagers at dances off of the wall and out there doing some borderline retarded dance, well, by all means. I just hope he knows that when Nas said hip hop is dead that he was looking into the future and was talking about Soulja Boy. As long as he knows...

A combo of Kanye and T-Pain brought me back to it, then Ludacris came out with his new stuff which, although I haven't heard it in its entirety, is not that bad. My friend Dom told me about the new Jadakiss CD too so I'll be on the lookout for that.

Heh, alota Hip-Hop for the first post so let me leave you guys with somethin a lil different. This band I found on myspace in my endless search for good music named Channel Two.

Somewhere between a gorgeous and sexy, late summer sunset and a hot, sweaty soul music dance floor, lays the very complex debut release from Channel Two. -channeltwomusic.com

Lol now you know that publicist is gettin paid GOOD money. The rest of the description is on their myspace at myspace.com/channeltwo or their website channeltwomusic.com. They have this whole jazz/hip hop/soul vibe goin on. From the looks of it, it seems that they mostly produce but they collaborate with some good people. Heh people you never knew you loved.

I'd love some feedback guys so tell me whats on your mind. Let me know about that artist no ones ever heard about. Its been real, PEACEEEeeee.
